Faucet filter - No more limescale in the house
Why it makes sense to use a water filter for your faucet
Tap water is used in everyday life for washing, cooking, cleaning, and even drinking. Generally, we don't worry about water quality as long as the tap water looks clear and we don't notice any signs of other contaminants. But what if the water for your coffee suddenly starts to smell strange or you notice a light oily film on the surface? Even small greasy deposits, annoying limescale deposits, or unpleasant odors can affect both your well-being and your health.
In Germany, tap water is generally of high quality, yet there are several reasons why and how contamination can occur. The cause of the problem isn't always immediately apparent. This could be due to the condition of the pipes and faucet in your home, or even problems with your local water supplier. Contamination in the water supply is usually not limited to individual appliances or rooms, but rather affects your entire home, from the bathroom to the kitchen, from the coffee machine to the washing machine.
It doesn't have to come to that. Installing a water filter can be a preventative solution for such cases. Aside from that, there are other reasons why fitting a water filter to your faucet is a smart decision.
Environmentally friendly technology
Modern water filters not only ensure better water quality, which you can see and taste. Many household appliances, especially in the kitchen, wear out over time due to limescale and rust. Normally, salts or chemicals must be regularly applied to remove these residues from the pipes. The damage caused by contaminants, as well as the costs of applying these products, represent a significant financial burden for private households that can be avoided.
Water filters on your faucet are worthwhile because they purify the water, thus improving your quality of life. Furthermore, filtered water is kinder to the environment in the long run. Reducing deposits in your pipes also means your water pipes last longer and need repairing less often.
Reduce water consumption and energy costs
If you can enjoy drinking water from the tap at home, you don't need to buy additional water. A water filter can not only reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles but also optimize water consumption itself. Clean, filtered water from the tap means less dependence on bottled water and therefore less waste. Furthermore, certain filters can optimize water flow, leading to lower water consumption and associated energy savings.
Extend the lifespan of your household appliances
A water filter not only improves the quality of the water you drink and use for cleaning, but also the longevity of your household appliances. Firstly, your appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers, and kettles, can operate more efficiently by reducing limescale deposits and impurities in the water. Secondly, you save on costly maintenance and generally have to have your appliances repaired less often.
Filters and catalysts provide cleanliness and protection
Water filters and catalysts reduce visual impurities and protect you from contamination by heavy metals, sediment, chlorine, or bacteria. This contributes to an improvement in water quality that you can see and feel. Many water filter owners report a reduction in health problems since treating their tap water at home. These include dermatological problems, such as skin blemishes caused by hard tap water. But even minor contamination with pollutants can cause stomach problems in sensitive people, which disappear when using filtered, clean water.

Furthermore, using the filter prevents the formation of rust and legionella in the pipes. Overall, this leads to a noticeable improvement in water quality throughout the entire house!
How can the KalkStopp Profi 1000 descale the house connection or keep it free of limescale?
Removing limescale throughout your home can be a costly and time-consuming task. A water filter at your home's water supply can help reduce or even eliminate the need for this regular descaling.
In this context, a water filter installed at the house connection, such as the highly effective KalkStopp Profi 1000, proves extremely beneficial. It drastically reduces the need for regular descaling of the house, or even eliminates it entirely. Two factors are crucial for optimal filter performance: water movement and light. Especially if the filter is located in a less well-lit area, shining a small lamp on it can increase efficiency.
Additionally, after periods of stagnant water, it is recommended to briefly soak the filter in a water bath with a touch of vinegar. This allows any limescale deposits to be removed from the catalyst film, ensuring optimal filter functionality. The effectiveness of KalkStopp Profi 1000 and comparable systems has been proven by their long-standing use in large-scale industry.
Benefits of a water filter in everyday life
Our water filters are designed for everyday use. Limescale deposits can not only clog your shower heads, but also reduce your showering pleasure. A water filter can help you fully enjoy a limescale-free shower again, without annoying residue in the tub or your hair. They not only improve your shower experience but also make running your pool easier. If you have a pool, limescale in the water can lead to cloudy water and damaged pool equipment. A water filter can help minimize limescale in the pool and thus improve water quality.
Wherever you come into contact with water in your daily life, our water filters can provide relief for your tap and for you.
Softer laundry
Using filtered water in your washing machine can result in softer and fluffier fabrics by minimizing limescale buildup. This protects your washing machine and your laundry.
Clear glasses
Limescale deposits on glasses are unsightly because they leave unsightly marks. A water filter can help keep your glasses clear and sparkling, even when you have unexpected visitors.
Stainless steel cutlery
By reducing rust particles in the water, your cutlery stays rust-free and retains its shine. Rust never looks good, but it's also extremely unhealthy, which is why a water filter is especially worthwhile in this case.
